Charles was the son of Henry Sprinkle & Mary S. Bloom.

His gravestone shows he died at age 6 months, 5 days. That was apparently inscribed incorrectly, because he was age 6 at the time the 1870 census as taken, and his father had died in 1866. We will give him an estimated year of birth of 1864, which meshes with his older brother George's birth in 1862 and his sister's birth in 1866. That also works with his half-brother's birth in Sep 1870, which if he had been born in 1870 would not.
